Angels watching over me.

There are times that we are totally unaware that we are being protected by angels until well after the fact.  Years ago my son and I were visiting some friends; we lived in Florida at the time.  On the way home we were talking and listening to music on the radio.  The drive home was approximately 20 minutes max.     I suddenly realized I saw a street that I had never seen before and that it was a dirt road, that I don’t recall being there.

I realized I had missed my turn, but wasn’t sure how far I had gone.  The road I was on I knew ended at my road so I just continued to drive down instead of turning around to take the road I usually took.   The road we usually took to get home was right beside a potato field with a streetlight at the end.   I do recall seeing the potato field and the streetlight, however the road wasn’t there.

When I got home I told my husband I somehow missed the turn.  Wasn’t a big deal it was just odd that the road had completely disappeared, it had become part of the potato field.   Shortly after my son and I got home my husband was called out. (He was a homicide detective at the time).  I didn’t think much of it; I was used to him being called at all hours.  My son got ready for bed, gave him a snack then tucked him into bed.   I went about straitening up then I went to bed.  I didn’t expect to see my husband till the next morning or so.

When we talked the next day I found out that about the time I would’ve been driving down the road I missed my son and I would’ve been caught in the crossfire of a gun fight.   God sent his angels to turn that road into part of the potato field so my son and I wouldn’t get hurt or possibly killed.  No one will ever convince me otherwise.

Angels watching over me my Lord, angels watching over me.
